About application process

THE APPLICATION WINDOW TO HOLD A WORKSHOP AT AAC 2019 IS NOW OPEN

In 2018 feedback was extremely positive about the AAC workshops. We received over 200 applications to hold a workshop last year. Of these 52 applications were successful. The calibre of applications is high and we therefore suggest that you take the time to ensure your application is of a high and accurate standard.

Applications will be accepted until the end of Friday 21st December. All applicants will be contacted no later than 17:00 on Friday 11th January with our decision.

Please note that as part of this application you will be required to supply a bio and photo for each speaker/presenter. Please have this ready before commencing an application.

This application process is only open for non-commercial workshops. Paid for opportunities for commercially sponsored workshops are available. We will contact you if we feel your submission is of a commercial nature and reserve the right to reject your application. If you wish to discuss your application in advance please email aac@feweek.co.uk.

Please note that completing the application does not guarantee you a workshop. If you are successful, you will be provided with one complimentary full conference pass per speaker. If tickets have already been purchased refunds will be processed. FE Week will not be liable for any travel or accommodation costs incurred.

Please note that we will not accept applications for a session with three or more speakers. If you wish to suggest a panel session – email aac@feweek.co.uk.
